Spicy Shrimp Alfredo

I love shrimp. It’s one of the few types of seafood that I actually eat. I grew up only having it battered and fried, but as I’ve matured so have my taste buds and I really enjoy shrimp in many ways. I probably shouldn’t admit it, but one of my favorite shrimp dishes is the shrimp scampi at Red Lobster. I don’t know how they pack so much yummy garlic flavor into that little dish.

A couple months ago, Eat Shrimp council asked me to participate in their12 Days of Shrimp. What a cool idea…12 bloggers sharing their favorite holiday memory and a favorite shrimp recipe. I can’t wait to go grab all the great recipes that have been posted. I hope you will too! Stop by the Eat Shrimp Facebook page and check out #11 on the gingerbread house for my favorite holiday memory.

My family loves this spicy shrimp dish! It is full of flavor and just enough spice to kick it up a little from just a boring shrimp alfredo dish. If you are worried about the level of spiciness, go slow. Start with half of the seasoning and add a little more until you reach your comfort level. The kids wanted less seasoning, John thought it was perfect, and I wanted more. Funny how families work!

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Hold a folded paper towel with long thongs. Dip in vegetable oil and coat grill several times (helps prevent sticking) or use a grill basket, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cook shrimp over direct heat for about 2-3 minutes per side.

Place noodles, sauce, and shrimp in a large serving bowl. Gently toss to combine.
